The Portable Sony Playstation (PSP) can play various forms of media including music. Before attempting to upload music, however, ensure that you have all the required equipment and that your music files are in MP3 format.
Rip from CD
Rip your music from your favorite CD's. Go to download.com (see Resources) and type "convert to MP3" in the search box at the top of the screen. Scroll down the results and find "Convert MP3 3.0" (the full version number will be longer). Click "Download Now."
Install Program
Install the MP3 Converter program. It will be located where you directed it to be saved. Once the program is installed open it and insert your CD. The program will begin to rip to your computer. You can also select certain song(s) that you wish to download.
PSP/Computer Connection
Attach the USB cable that came with your PSP to the console and your Windows PC. Macintosh computers are not supported. Turn on your PSP and press "Settings." Then use the directional pad to select "USB Connection." Your computer should now recognize your PSP and will assign the console a letter (D, E, H, etc.). Next, create a folder on the PSP drive and name it something that you will recognize---album name, artist name, etc. Locate your music files from where you have them stored on your computer and drag them into the created folder on your PSP. You can then disconnect the PSP from the computer.
Play the Music
Use the directional pad to find the "Music" option. Next, look for and choose "Memory Stick." Search for the folder where your ripped songs are located. Click on a song to play it.
